America the Beautiful- Thanksgiving

You may be singing “America the Beautiful” or other patriotic songs, as part of your Thanksgiving celebration. We, here in Macau, are celebrating an American Thanksgiving by going to Hong Kong with the LCMS Office (Lutheran Church)on Friday. There will be about 25 people there.

We all have the long weekend off, so we are very much in a celebratory mood. We are all preparing something. My contribution is Massachusetts cranberries. I found some little jars of Ocean Spray sauce, which actually cost about $4 each! I also bought OS craisins and will mix them with peanuts and mixed nuts. This will be part of our appetizer. Jan Foytek a fellow teacher from Keene, NH is making the traditional green bean casserole. She can’t find the cans of onion rings, so she is making them from scratch. Isn’t it interesting how we value something when it’s not easily available?
